Sox will try to trade Josh Fields in the off-season

The White Sox will actively look to trade Josh Fields this offseason. That comes as no secret since both sides have agreed that the former first-round pick would probably be better off somewhere else when the 2009 regular-season closes. … Fields said he and general manager Ken Williams did have a talk right before he was sent down in midseason, and “everything has been discussed and everything has been laid out on the table from both sides. He knows where I’m coming from and he gave me the position of the White Sox. As far as I can see, everything stands the exact same.” The Sox just won’t just give Fields away, but expect them to try and kick down every door to get him relocated.
